2 Worlds Collide Podcast

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Ashton Hurn — Leader of the South Australian Liberal Party — for a direct conversation about the future of South Australia ahead of the upcoming state election on March 21.

With South Australians heading to the polls soon, we break down the key issues shaping the state right now — from the cost-of-living crisis and housing pressures to energy policy, government spending and the direction of the South Australian economy.

Ashton shares her perspective on the current political landscape in South Australia, the challenges facing businesses and families, and why she believes leadership and policy direction matter more than ever as the state approaches the election.

We also discuss the realities of modern politics, the growing frustration many Australians feel toward government, and what she believes needs to change if South Australia is going to remain competitive and prosperous in the years ahead.

This is a serious and open conversation about the issues facing the state — and what South Australians should be thinking about as they head into the March 21 election.

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Jeremy Van Akerlaken — better known online as Clown Repellent — for a raw, unfiltered conversation about culture, politics, free speech, and the issues many people feel are being ignored by mainstream media.

Jeremy has built a large following online by doing something simple but increasingly rare: saying exactly what he thinks. Through his platform Clown Repellent, he’s become known for calling out what he sees as cultural absurdities, political hypocrisy, and the growing tension around free speech and public debate.

In this episode we cover absolutely everything — the culture wars, censorship, media narratives, masculinity, politics, immigration, social media, and why so many people feel like the world has lost its mind.

Nothing is off limits.

We talk about how Jeremy built his platform, why his content resonates with so many people, and what happens when someone decides to challenge the dominant narrative online.

This isn’t a carefully scripted conversation — it’s a straight, honest discussion about the issues many other podcasts wouldn’t touch.

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Cory Bernardi — former Australian Senator and current lead One Nation candidate for South Australia’s Legislative Council in the upcoming state election — for a direct and wide-ranging conversation about the future of Australia, the failures of modern politics, and the growing disconnect between government and everyday Australians.

Cory spent over a decade representing South Australia in the Federal Senate and became one of the most outspoken voices in Australian politics. During his time in Parliament he challenged the political establishment on issues including government spending, national sovereignty, cultural change, energy policy and the direction of the country.

After leaving the Liberal Party and founding the Australian Conservatives, Cory has now returned to the political arena as the lead One Nation candidate for the South Australian Legislative Council, running in the upcoming state election.

In this episode we break down the political landscape in Australia today — from the cost-of-living crisis and immigration policy to energy, national security, and the role of media in shaping public debate.

We also discuss Cory’s time inside Parliament, what really happens behind closed doors in Canberra, and why he believes many Australians are losing trust in both major political parties.

This is a serious, honest conversation about where Australia is heading — and whether the country can course-correct before it’s too late.

🧭 In This Episode We Cover:

🇦🇺 Cory Bernardi’s political journey and time in the Australian Senate
🏛 What really happens behind the scenes in Canberra
📉 Cost of living, government spending and economic pressure on Australians

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Amos Gill — one of Australia’s funniest and most globally recognised comedians — for a wide-ranging, hilarious, and thought-provoking conversation about life, geopolitics, culture, and the absurdity of modern existence.

Amos has built a remarkable career from Adelaide to the world stage — starting as a runner-up in triple j’s RAW Comedy Competition and going on to host major radio shows, sell-out stand-up tours across Australia, the UK, and the USA, and open for comedy heavyweights like Jim Jefferies.

In this episode we dig into the realities of living between Australia and America, how comedy intersects with serious issues, and why laughing at the chaos of politics, war, and culture can sometimes teach us more than the news ever will.

We also unpack topics including freedom of speech, cancel culture, the war in Ukraine and Afghanistan, life on the road, and the stark differences between Aussie and American life — all delivered with Amos’s signature sharp wit.

This isn’t just another comedy chat.
It’s an honest, clever ride into the funny — and the serious — with one of the brightest comic minds going.

🧭 In This Episode We Cover:
😂 How comedy intersects with real-world issues
🇦🇺🇺🇸 Life between Australia and the USA
🎤 Freedom of speech and cultural tension
⚔️ War, politics and modern conflict commentary
📺 Cancel culture and social media censorship
🎭 Behind the scenes of touring and performing globally

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Senator Alex Antic for a direct, unfiltered conversation on free speech, government oversight, and the growing political tension shaping Australia’s future.

Alex is one of the most outspoken voices in federal parliament when it comes to civil liberties, and in this episode we dig into why free speech is being narrowed, how government power has expanded with little scrutiny, and what that means for everyday Australians.

We also unpack the left’s growing fear of a political shift to the right, the backlash against dissenting voices, and why open debate is increasingly being treated as a threat rather than a foundation of democracy.

From there, we dive into foreign lobbying and influence, how it operates inside Australian politics, and why transparency and accountability matter more now than ever.

This isn’t party talking points.
It isn’t political theatre.

It’s a serious conversation about power, control, and the consequences of silencing disagreement.

🧭 In This Episode We Cover:
🗣️ Free speech and the limits being imposed on public debate
🏛️ Government oversight and unchecked power
⚖️ The political left and fear of a rightward shift
🌍 Foreign lobbying and external influence in Australian politics
🇦🇺 Democracy, dissent, and national sovereignty
🔍 Why transparency and accountability still matter
